Description

Instagram said Friday it is continuing to investigate a data breach linked to a flaw in its application programing interface that exposed user names, phone numbers and email addresses — but not passwords. A hacker claims to have stolen data from 6 million accounts, and is offering them for sale at $10 apiece.
